Guided meditation through all 13 Jhanas!

[@noself7889]

That was very profound! I would love to experience this in an hour or two hour meditation. Thank you for this realization experience.

[@KatSunPureland]

Love this meditation! Thank you

[@banjoandlefty]

Thank you for the whirlwind tour. That was incredibly interesting and helpful.

[@MegaCadr]

Well that was a trip. Thanks :)

[@ghuyakalika]

This was wonderful! I couldn't sleep because of the extreme energy and blissful expansion after doing this. Where did you learn these Jhanas? Is it the lighter or deeper Jhanas? Thank you. I have done lots of meditation but this was wonderful

[@pimvermeulen2115]

My pleasure🙏

[@KayakingVince]

Fantastic guided meditation. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience with the world. I would love to try more of your guided meditations in future if you find the time to do any more. You have a great way of describing the steps really clearly that I've struggled with in the past when trying to understand the jhanas.

[@pimvermeulen2115]

Thank you! Appreciate it

Omg, it felt like "the infinite orgasm", forever thankful.

[@lioninvesting4676]

Hey wonderful to see you. How do you see the practice of mahasi sayadaw insight practice with mental noting ? Or do you think you can go through insight stages just with jhanas ?

[@pimvermeulen2115]

They both can be effective techniques!

[@vaibhavg7139]

Nice 👍.... Couple of states for you to explore... 1) the parabrahma state... Prior to consciousness... The state of no existence 2) The light body. .... Pure consciousness cutting through the parabrahma .... The union of 0 and 1 3) Freedom from freedom ... Total loss of interest in all forms of existential and non-existential experiences. Enjoy!

[@spiritualwarrior9615]

Could you tell me more about source of this states and could you recommend books about these practices? I want to learn more about Buddhist meditation practices.

[@vaibhavg7139]

@@spiritualwarrior9615 hello, these are post awakening states of consciousness that one arrives at with sustained practice and surrender. You can google the terms I use to find the books that address these. These aren't necessarily Buddhist definitions and are very advanced. My suggestion is to work through the jhanas if ur a beginner.

[@spiritualwarrior9615]

@@vaibhavg7139 Ok thank you for your advice. I know about 8 jhanas but those are new term for me that's why I asked about them.

[@marciestoddard730]

Yes it is very very good and wise yo ask people their sources.

[@alexanderkoch6131]

Wow, there are 13 jhana now? :)

[@pimvermeulen2115]

That I know of yes:)

[@Fehldruck162]

@@pimvermeulen2115 8 to 9, not more

[@davidetube90]

there are 13 and you can also go through all them them in 37 mins. by listening to Pim listing them...

[@marciestoddard730]

Lmao. You cant guide anyone through a jnana. Why are you making this up?

[@BOSScula]

Hello sir, Due to inflation, we have increased the number of Jhanas Thanks, -Buddha's side chick in higher realms

[@KatSunPureland]

Could you explain how we can study learn and meditate more on 13 Jhana? Usually I only hear about 4 Jhanas. Thank you

[@pimvermeulen2115]

I'm planning on writing down my experiences about them on my website. Jhana 5-8 are often called the formless abodes, or arupa Jhanas. Jhana 9-13 are sometimes called the pure abodes or Pure Land Jhanas. Perhaps if you Google these terms you can find something on them 🙏

[@MegaCadr]

I’ve twice now done this where I don’t remember anything from the 7-13 jhana. I guess in theory I could have fallen asleep, but I don’t think I did. Thoughts?

[@pimvermeulen2115]

It appears that awareness is not clear if you don't remember your experience. A subtle state of dullness can present itself in meditation, in which there is no clear experience whatsoever. It's often a rather pleasant state but a pitfall still. Maybe see if you can become aware of the symptoms of this state, especially when it starts. When you identify it, keep yourself awake by for example standing up for a while. Hope this helps

[@MegaCadr]

@@pimvermeulen2115 thank you!

[@MegaCadr]

@@pimvermeulen2115 I did a long sit this morning before doing this, and was super present the whole time. The last jhana really felt the way you described. I really appreciate the talking through of moving back into the body at the end. Cheers!

[@user-fg3fv9hl3b]

​@@MegaCadrjhanas are extremely intense and noticeable, are you sure you are experiencing jhanas? A lot of people think they are getting these absorptions when they aren't

[@Sunnanandi]

I can't tell if this is worth meditating on because sadly, the sound track is inaudible. Spiritual beings tend not to have a good grasp of technical matters such as SOUND LEVEL, so this guided meditation might actually be the best thing ever, but only for those whose intuition is more perceptive than mine.

[@pimvermeulen2115]

Haha sorry for the audio quality, thank you for the worthwhile reply though. Not sure about the spiritual being thing though.

[@Sunnanandi]

My pleasure. I think the sound problem might be a KZbin app thing. I can work round it on my PC.

[@s5saweig]

Interesting! Trying to connect my chakras got me confused, though. Is there a way to get from the 8th jhana to fruition?

[@pimvermeulen2115]

If you've experienced a cessation before, then yes:) if not, then no. It comes when it comes
